Replying To carlowman:  "Good effort... they tried everything. They put in a monumental effort.
It is easy to talk about having another forward to work with Chris.
His brother Jon was unable to start and that was unfortunate. Jon is an exceptional forward and works his socks off and his loss for most of the game made a difference.
Hurlers and particularly forwards do not grow on trees and it takes years to get to the level where Chris and Jon Nolan are at."
Never said it was easy, if it was Noamh Eoin wouldn't have gone 20 years without a county title. Nor was it a slight against MLR. They will continue to win championships in Carlow for years to come because of the quality they have.

Leinster is different though. Holding Chris Nolan to two points from play won Kilmacud that game, that's what they set out to do knowing MLR will struggle for scores outside of him.

Replying To Optimist2013:  "Anyone give Rathvilly a chance on Sunday.
No pedigree in Leinster and never take it seriously.

Portarlington came to DCP last year and breezed past OL.
Same again on the cards."
Don't really see anything bar a 10 point win for Port. Rathvilly had a side full of decent players but seems to settle for a county title. I hope I'm wrong and the attitude has changed but doubtful.

Last year Port Vs OL made it look like men against boys. The difference in physicality was massive.
